They Once Raced Here: Volume 4 is here

It took longer to get it done but it arrived yesterday. It's not quite new bike day but it's a close second.

This volume covers the Goulburn and Ovens Murray regions. There's some standout racecourses in this one and some fascintaing stories.

• Why was Shepparton so hard to reseearch and why don't they still have a racecourse?

• How many racecourses are now under lakes/reservoirs?

• Where's the most remote Gazetted course to date?

• What's the last closed racecourse in Victoria? Yes, it's in this volume and even on the cover of the book.

If you're interested in a copy it's $45 posted anywhere in Australia. Email me on chris_ganly@hotmail.com and I will sort you out.

For those interested, volume 5, and what was going to be the last is well underway. It covers Gippsland and Melbourne. I've made the decision to split this in two and publish each region separately. So there will be six in the series. Gippsland will come out first and then I'll wrap it all up with Melbourne.

Thanks to everyone who's supported me and shown interest in what I have been doing here.

Cheers

Chris
